Mo Chen, hands on his hips, annoyed, yelled, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly! I am Mo Chen!"

"Tch~ If you're Mo Chen, then I'm still Mo Han! You two are the fifth pair to impersonate the Sage today!" The guard said irritably. "Get out of here! Or I'll have you both arrested!"

"Damn it—you can't even tell the real thing from the fakes, so why are you arresting us? Do you believe I'll beat you up?!" Mo Chen was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action.

Surprisingly, Mo Han stood coolly to the side, watching him prepare to fight without any intention of intervening.

Seeing Mo Han watching coldly, Mo Chen turned around and angrily shouted, "Mo Han, can't you say something in support?!"

Mo Han glanced at Mo Chen and said irritably, "What did you say? Aren't your fists more effective than any words?"

"I……"

Mo Chen was completely bewildered. Mo Han was telling him to take action. He was the one who wanted to enter the city to assassinate Qing Yang, so why did he mess up at the crucial moment? How irresponsible of him!

Just as Mo Chen was hesitating about whether to make a move, the city gate suddenly opened, and Yang Wei led a large group of people in.

The guards stepped forward respectfully upon seeing Yang Wei, saying, "Greetings, General Yang!"

Yang Wei glanced at it coldly and said indifferently, "His Majesty has ordered me to leave the palace on business. This is the warrant."

Before Yang Wei could even pull out the warrant, the guard waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. Everyone knows that General Yang is a favorite of the King, so the warrant for leaving the palace is definitely genuine!"

Yang Wei glanced at the smiling guard and nodded with a smile, "You're very good!"

"Thank you for the compliment, General Yang!" The guard's face lit up with joy.

"Tsk tsk tsk, General Yang, what a grand official's presence!" Just then, Yang Wei was about to leave when someone blocked his way.

Looking up, I was surprised to see Mo Chen and Mo Han. "It's you two!"

Mo Chen's lips curled up slightly. "I didn't expect General Yang to still remember us two brothers! I saw what just happened. I won't waste any more words. Tell them to let us through, or I'll tell everyone that General Yang's military might is on full display, allowing passage through the city gates without a warrant!"

Yang Wei's face was gloomy, and he spoke coldly, "I remember that you two didn't inform the King when you left the city, but instead sneaked out, didn't you?"

Mo Chen glared at Yang Wei, already having a counter-argument ready: "You're wrong about that. When Mo Han left, she told Princess Qingge. If you don't believe me, go ask Princess Qingge!"

Upon hearing Princess Qingge's name, Yang Wei immediately lost his arrogance, coldly glared at the guard, and ordered, "Open the city gates! Let them into the palace!"

The guard was taken aback, only then realizing that the two in front of him were indeed the so-called "genuine goods!" He immediately opened the city gate to let them pass.

Mo Chen chuckled, looking at Yang Wei with a smug expression. "Thank you, General Yang! If it weren't for you, they would all say we're liars!"

Seeing Mo Chen's smug expression, Yang Wei was furious. Before he could say anything, Mo Han grabbed Mo Chen by the back of his collar and headed towards the city gate, coldly saying, "Shut up! Get to work!"

Watching the two figures hurry away, Yang Wei's face was gloomy, and he thought to himself, "One day I will make Qingge my woman, and then I will trample all of you under my feet!"

Watching Yang Wei walk further and further away, Mo Chen curled his lip and said, "As far as I know, that petty guy is definitely cursing us!"

Mo Han found it somewhat amusing. "How do you know he's petty?"

"Of course I know! This guy chased after Gu Liyan the whole way just because Gu Liyan overheard a few words from his godfather!" Mo Chen said angrily. "If Gu Liyan hadn't been in his fox form at the time, he probably would have captured him alive and tortured him thousands of times over!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Han asked with a gloomy expression, "What exactly did Gu Liyan do while I was away?"

Mo Chen said awkwardly, "This... the story is a bit long, let Gu Liyan tell you himself!"

Mo Han narrowed his eyes, sensing the atmosphere within the palace. His gaze suddenly changed, and he coldly said, "In that case, I'll go see Gu Liyan and ask him personally!"

As she spoke, she walked towards Gu Liyan's residence.

Mo Chen was stunned for a moment. "I almost forgot, Gu Liyan's soul is in the palace!"

What Mo Chen didn't know was that Gu Liyan herself was also here...

Mo Han flashed and arrived at the courtyard of Gu Liyan's residence in the blink of an eye.

Squinting slightly, sensing the presence of several people inside, he raised his foot and kicked the door open—

With a loud bang, Qingge, who was playing with Qingqing in the room, was startled. She quickly stood up, hugged Qingqing, and looked around warily. "Could it be that another assassin has come?"

"Woof!" Clearly, he barked nervously.

Hearing the noise coming from the main entrance, Lan Ying rushed to Qingge's room. "Princess Qingge, are you alright?"

"No..." Before Qingge could finish speaking, there was another loud bang on the door.

Qingge and Lanying looked at each other in surprise, only then realizing that the sound came from Gu Liyan's room next door.

The loud noise woke Gu Liyan. He opened his eyes wearily and saw a familiar figure appear at the door. His blurry vision made it impossible for him to see the person clearly, but he could feel the murderous aura emanating from him.

"who……"

Gu Liyan tried to sit up, but her body went limp and she lay back down. In the blink of an eye, the figure was in front of her. Her eyes fell on a purple robe. Upon seeing the color purple, Gu Liyan was immediately horrified.

"Master...uh—"

Gu Liyan's breath hitched. He hadn't expected Mo Han to grab his neck so hard that he immediately snapped back to reality.
